I overslept, and my day started with an outraged cat. Over the past few days, a road crew has been working on the street next to our house. They are repaving it. The road is closed, and Gordon observed the workers having heated words with a driver of a delivery truck this morning. We might be

Slice of Life Monday
Mod R is out today, so you are in my semi-capable hands. This is a slice of life post. When I was a child, time seemed to move in a straight forward way, like floating down the stream of a slow, gentle river in a little boat. Then I became an adult, and the passage of time stopped being a

Snippet Wednesday: the Glamor
Pressida grimaced and unhooked a small barrel secured to her saddle. Her Andican mare gave the barrel a derisive snort. Pressida had tied her on the other side of the log, well out of Keraengle’s kicking range. “That is what I love about knighthood.” Pressida pulled a knife out, pried the lid off

Fake Store
Our store has been cloned by a scam artist. Meaning it has been copied in its entirety and reproduced elsewhere. It is down now thanks to the quick action by the registrar and vigilance of the BDH. Unfortunately, in the age of AI it is very easy to copy sites. This will happen again. The

This Kingdom’s Cast of Characters
By popular demand - I wonder if other authors get so many demands, heh - here is the Cast of Characters. This is a basic version. You will have to wait until Maggie's site, the app, or the Companion to Kair Toren, for the images version. This thing is hyperlinked and should be spoiler free. Not

The Tour and the Lists
The tour began on March 31 at BN in Arboretum at 5:00 pm. We came in a little early, were led to the back room, and shortly after they brought us out. We follow the nice bookseller to the signing space and see 200 people. And they all go, "Yay!" except that there is 200 of them and it sounds more

UK Cover Correction
Okay, so I screwed up. When UK sent the packet listing the editions, the wording was slightly confusing. This is the regular UK hardcover. This is the International HB hardcover. It is my fault. I did not confirm. The pack of promotional materials made it seem like this was the regular
